I installed a new GATOR EFX cover last night on 19 crew Laramie with BUG. I watched the install video
and it was spot on. The BUG had no effect and the clamps cleared it just fine.

I have had a cheap eBay soft tri fold on my last truck and this cover feels and looks worth the premium $599 i paid. I am hoping the outside rubber trim will flatten out after some time in the sunlight. I will update you all in a few weeks on that.

I rant he drain pipe on the drivers side on the top hole fine but the passenger i had to use the lower hole as the top seemed to be blocked. Compared to most of the other hard tri folds that run $900 or more i am happy with this.

Any update on the cover, water tightness or regrets in purchasing. Might pull the trigger on this one soon.

I've owned this cover for about 8 months. I have had no issues. Is it absolutely watertight? High pressure car wash spray can blow past the seals but that's it. The panels all latch securely and makes the bed very secure. I would buy it again without hesitation.

Awesome. Ordered it today for a great price through realtruck. Did not realize that they had first responder discounts...paid $570 total!. I have a feeling I wont come close to finding a better deal for a hard folding cover.

I had a Gator Evo tonneau cover on my 2014 F150. Was bummed when I bought my 19 1500 Ram and was going to have to buy another one. Luckily it swapped straight over to my Ram and fits perfect! Even though they say that model # won’t fit..

Do you remember what model it is? I have a 19' ram 1500 with a 6.4' bed and I am thinking about getting the GC44010. TIA
